Bombshell: Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe, the iconic “bombshell,” is an enduring pop culture icon. Humanities scholar Margaret Opsata examines how Monroe’s fame stems from her glamorous and comedic acting in hit films like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Some Like It Hot, her complex and captivating personal life, and her tragic, untimely death. (2026 marks the 100th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's birth.)
